Accept every opportunity you get to speak in front of an audience. Each one will help you develop your speaking skills and confidence. Looking for 'low-risk' opportunities where you can practice your public speaking skills? Contact your local Volunteer Center or a nonprofit organization that serves a cause you're passionate about. Ask about opportunities to utilize your public speaking skills. There couldn't be a more welcoming audience or a more rewarding venue. You'll help make your community a better place and develop your professional competencies at the same time.
